How much WLB flexibility is there with MBB? As a junior level employee, do you have the freedom to step away for a few hours in the day for an appointment? What if you need to take a random Tuesday off?

At M, it's best if you can inform your team in advance and in my experience the team will work with you to make it happen

As for taking an entire day off - teams are usually reasonable, if you're sick and need to take a day off once in a while it's not an issue. Or if you have a one-off planned day off your team will work around it to make it happen (when possible)

like

1. As long as the random appointment isn’t during a key meeting. Also we are travelling more and more again so that will get harder. I got told to find dentists open on the weekend when I joined…..Also you’ll still have to finish your work. So it just means less sleep.

2. Random Tuesday? If you clear it in advance probably fine but you’ll still be expected to pump out a lot of stuff that week. So it won’t really feel like time off….

One off situations- possible.
Keep in mind you will have typical week averaging at ~60 - 65 hrs. M to F will be around 14 hrs and comparatively lighter Friday of 8 to 10 hrs

Totally depends on how you aligned with your EM and the type of the study. But as long as you are getting your work done stepping away for an appointment has never been an issue.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.
